There are things we can reasonably do something about in a reasonable time period. There are things we cannot (as it sits right now) without killing large numbers of people and possibly ending civilization as we know it. What might happen i

I've written harvest inventory software for a couple of custom harvesting outfits. Their business model is they buy crops in the field or charge to do custom harvesting. Usually the former. I've not been onsite for one outfit but

Right? That's a puzzling comment. Low level sweater wearing soft voiced .gov propaganda isn't usually high on my interest list. Although come to think of it, he might have a point. Maybe if I stuck with that I wouldn't be tem

Yep there are a lot of positive impacts. Like you, I feel I know a little about a lot of things. By the time I was in maybe 6'th grade I suspect I had better knowledge of world history, different cultures, ecology and a whole lot other

I liked this and will be the first to admit I have an information ingestion problem that the internet has made many times worse. In grade school I nearly failed a semester because I read books all day. It was obsessive. I didn't do my

I don't know if you came up with that but very well put! (copying it into my list of witty and true sayings).

My GF, who is a realtor (and not what I'd call a power user), has been using Linux and LibreOffice for nearly a decade and it's been nothing but great. Before, I'd have to go to her office at least a couple of times a month t

Everything is transitory and impermanent and nature needs a garbage collector. I'd be surprised if people didn't have some sort of instinct to die under the right circumstances just like they have an instinct to procreate under th

BTC probably is much less a store of value when the internet is cut off. Didn't seem very hard for the Kazakhstan government to do either. I feel like there might be a cautionary tale in there somewhere.

Crypto miners would be very happy with taxpayer funded electricity. Also people who leave their air conditioners on blast while out for the day.

I wonder if there is opportunity in driving the trucks back? $6000 seems like it would be worth a 2 day road trip.

Deep topsoil takes a long time to build. Generations. Centuries. Like the Midwestern US with buffalo herds moving about and fire for thousands of years. Or old fields that have been properly manured and cultivated for generations. But an im

It could be if you just muddle along enjoying the world eventually the Mongols show up and take your stuff and put your skull on the skull pyramid. Or at least that's the fear.

They have a full isle of sugared breakfast cereal though. I have no judgement about people eating junk (in reasonable amounts). I eat it too from time to time. But a full isle of junk for the "most important meal of the day"?

Would you also be of the opinion that, due to the widespread availability of healthy food options and Richard Simmons exercise videos it's acceptable to turn away the overweight to preserve hospital capacity?

There was a pretty high profile case in New Mexico of Chinese growers setting up shop on the Navajo reservation. It was a big operation too. (you can probably search for better articles, here is one I just found) https://www.bbc.

Not nearly to the extent directly controlling all transactions would give them. Not even close. What you are talking about is things like sanctioning foreign firms or individuals. Yes, the IRS could also come after your bank accounts but it

But sea levels haven't increased very much in either of those places (yet). Certainly not enough to be responsible for the observed effect. What happens is the freshwater aquifers are drained giving the salt/brackish water space t
